Fun in Connecticut

Thursday, September 04, 2008

We have had a whirlwind of a trip so far. It feels like we have only been here a couple of days. On Tuesday evening the Kamerzel's came over for dinner. Mark and I went to high school together.



His family is beautiful and so well behaved. I was taking copious mental notes the whole time hoping that some day Hadley could be so good.



Yesterday, my Dad drove us down to Madison, Connecticut to visit a friend of mine from Denver that had moved to Connecticut just over a year ago. She picked a great restaurant called The Wharf, facing the ocean. It was great to see them and Hadley got to stick her feet in the sand and water. LOVED IT.



Here are a few things that make Connecticut different from Colorado, besides the spelling. (joke)
1) Connecticut is mostly a Blue state. I think it makes me less stressed.
2) In Colorado, directions to get somewhere are: "Get on the highway for 20 minutes, exit, take a left, then a right at the light. Directions in Connecticut are: "Take Route 4, to 84, to Route 9, to Route 17, to Route 3, to Route 10. etc." Oh man.
3) In CT, all routes are 2 lane roads curving though forests.
4) In CT, you can't spit without hitting an Italian Restaurant. Though I haven't seen too many sushi or ethiopian restaurants.

I will post more on this later.

I think the first(and maybe only) Etheopian restuarant I've ever been to was in New Haven. It may have been the first time I'd ever gone to an real Ethnic place, instead of an Americanized version of Chinese, Italian or Mexican. The man at the next table showed us how to eat with the bread.

I don't envy you living in a battleground state, the ads would drive me crazy. Although 538 has you guys as purple these days.
